Abstract: Liquid-transfer apparatus, and methodology employing the same, operatively interposable a syringe and a vial, and accommodating both a single-mouth-size (single-size), two-vial transfer procedure, and a two-mouth-size (two-size), two-vial transfer procedure. The apparatus includes a liquid-transfer device having a syringe-coupling end, a vial-coupling end, and liquid-passage structure effectively communicating between these ends. In the case of accommodating a single-mouth-size (single-size), two-vial procedure, only the liquid-transfer device is employed, and the same is sized with a vial-coupling end that is constructed for direct coupling to the top of the single-size vial which is used. In the case of accommodating a two-mouth-size (two-size), two-vial operation, the liquid-transfer device is employed along with a vial-coupling adaptor which is removably receivable in a connected relationship with the vial-coupling end in the device to adapt the same for coupling to the top of a vial having the smaller of the two sizes of vials which are to be employed. Under these circumstances, the entire procedure begins with coupling of the apparatus to a syringe and to the smaller-size vial, with the vial-coupling adaptor connected to the liquid-transfer device's vial-coupling end. Following a liquid-transfer operation with this smaller vial, the same is decoupled, and such decoupling automatically disconnects the vial-coupling adaptor and the liquid-transfer device. Thereafter, a vial of the larger size is coupled to the vial-coupling end in the liquid-transfer device, and a transfer procedure is completed between the syringe and the larger coupled vial. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device to facilitate the mounting of an optical sensor on a windshield glass using a clear adhesive tape is disclosed. The device holds the sensor, with tape exposed, in a vacuum chamber which is sealed against the glass. The chamber is evacuated, and the sensor is then pressed against the glass by the longitudinal movement of a drive shaft. The sensor may be installed with consistent force and with no trapped air pockets or air bubbles. Air pockets are a special concern because air pockets adversely effect the optical performance of the sensor. The vacuum chamber device may be controlled by a computer, and features a latching mechanism which prevents the sensor from making contact with the glass until the chamber is evacuated.

Abstract: Une pointe de sonde située dans un microscope à forces atomiques oscille à une fréquence de résonance et à une amplitude réglée à une valeur de consigne en balayant à une amplitude constante la surface entière d'un échantillon, établissant ainsi un contact intermittent avec l'échantillon. La mesure des variations de phase ou de fréquence de résonance permet de déterminer le contact entre la pointe de sonde et l'échantillon. L'amplitude caractérisée par une valeur de consigne de l'oscillation de la sonde est supérieure à 10 nm, ce qui assure que l'énergie siégeant dans le bras de levier de la sonde reste beaucoup plus importante que celle perdue dans chaque cycle par la sonde percutant la surface de l'échantillon de sorte que la pointe de sonde ne colle pas à la surface de l'échantillon. On détermine les caractéristiques de l'échantillon liées à la force en comparant les données obtenues à différentes amplitudes de contact.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for tracing payment data in an anonymous payment system having electronic payment means, such as so-called "smart cards". According to the invention, the user commits himself to a value (w) which may later be used for the tracing by a payment institution. The value (w) is preferably recorded with the help of a so-called one-way function (F) and an (electronic) signature ( sigma ), so that the payment institution does not dispose of the value itself, but is able to verify it on the basis of the stored derivative (w'') of the value. The invention further relates to a payment means and a payment system for application of the method.
